Download eMule 0.23a

The development of the p2p program eMule is not standing still. Version 0.23a has been allowed to enter the internet and will receive the following release notes:

After nearly 2 weeks (yes we are lazy coders ) 0.23a is finished. Please note that this is an A version. We could also name it “RC1” or “Test” or whatever, but since eMule is beta anyway we name this version just a . So if you have problems with this version, please write a bugreport and use version 0.22c (not a or b) untill those bugs are fixed. Another note: I WILL implement Proxy support in one of the next versions, please do not write me more mails about it.

Oh and the change list:

• Merkur: Changed the handling of Low-ID Clients.
  Basically only low ids from your local server are accepted as source. Other low id will be dropped, except if they want to download something from you (in this case it is guaranteed that the low id will establish a connection every 20 min). While this has some disadvantages for rare files it removes the need to UDP queue other server for low ids. Together with the last reduction for source searches, this should keep the server UDP-Load at a minimum.
• Merkur: Added client to client UDP.
  Client will now use UDP to reask for files and get the current Queue rank. This needs much less traffic than a complete new TCP connection and helps to reduce overhead as well as save “connections” which are rare on Win9X systems. Make sure to use an UDP Port in the preferences and open your firewall/router for this port. If you are unable to open a port, select “disable” in the preferences screen – other clients won’t try to use UDP to reach you then. UDP is optional and if it fails a standard TCP connection will be established.
• Merkur: Implemented the friendsystem, which will allow you to add friends, view their shared files, establish a dedicated friend slot and chat with them (as long as their last known IP didn’t changed)
• Merkur: Uploadslot handling is adjusted a bit. eMule will open slightly more slots on low speed connections (up to ~12KB) and slightly less on high speed connections.
